Woooooher, Wisconsin Film Festival 2011 will be showing 4 Italian Films, please can we all rejoice together as neither San Fransisco, Dallas, Hawaii, RiverRun, Sonoma and Arizona International Film Festivals were able to find just one single Italian film this year, I think we need to go all out for Wisconsin lets sing a song, try a small tribal dance, anything to show some appreciation for our friends in Wisconsin. I was not really sure where this state was either so you now have a link to knowledge too, go explore.
They have found 4 Italian films to show during their festival, of course, we have the Le Quattro Volte, The Four Times my life would not be the same if that was not included 2 x Hip Hip Hurrahs for the director Michelangelo Frammartino, who must be having the time of his life, not only does Le Quattro Volte get to appear in nearly all International Film Festivals, it wins prices and awards too, top film….. OK, I did not like it I was ever so bored I was wrong, as it has been applauded everywhere so go form your own opinion, do not huff like that in my direction, I am human and I have failed you all with respect to this film……. DARN.
It is a clear “NUL POINT” to Dallas, not a single solitary Italian Film not one……I feel ashamed for you Dallas.
Update 31.03.11 by PrimoCiak: Please read the comment from Dallas International Film Festival, PrimoCiak was too quick in the uptake. Why not have a look at their programme if you are anywhere near Dallas, just follow the link above for a full breakdown of films….
Gerorge Clooney and Elisabetta Canalis both possible witnesses for the defence in the up and coming trail of our much-loved and admired Italian Prime Minister Silvio Bercusconi on the 6th April 2011. Berlusconi is about to stand trail for among other things underaged sex, keeping prostitutes, tax fraud, abuse of power and oh yes preventing the course of justice , where is the list….., just the tip of the iceberg.
It would appear that an A list of Celebes have been rubbing shoulders (I hope that is all that was being rubbed) with the high society of Italian stars and politicians. According to Indian Express there is a list of 78 possible witnesses including football hero Cristiano Ronaldo and other top personalities such as Belen Rodriguez and the Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini currently in London holding meetings concerning Libya. They might be called on to support Berlusconi, God knows he needs it.
Clooney claims to have met Berlusconi only once when fundraising for Darfur, uhmmm yes the fundraising for Dafur, what would our Moroccan prostitute be doing at the fundraiser? It was she who reported Clooneys presence at the Bunga Bunga Party at Berlusconi’s villa in Arcore a suggested scene for orgies and strip-shows, a confidential villa where High Society meets the less fortunate Low Society. Ruby the Heartbreaker, who was allegedly paid for sex with Berlusconi at 17, a claim she has denied very publicly recently in an interview with CHI Magazine (owned by Berlusconi) and in a TV interview with Mediaset (owned by Berlusconi) is selling her stories making a mint, you go girl. When Ruby found herself arrested in Milan for theft last year she was released immediately without charge after a personal phone call from Berlusconi ;-) you could not make it up, the man is arrogant and deluded, he did not even use an aid to call the police.
It is worth mentioning that Berlusconi is loved and adored in Italy and here no one really cares about his crimes as long as tax is kept low and the inheritance tax even lower, also Italians can quite happily go to Mass daily proclaiming their support of family values, honesty, high morales and the ten commandments, yet have no qualms at all voting for Berlusconi, money wins hands down over morals every time.
Grrrrrrrrr my soapbox is shaking my heartbeat is raising, it is time to up the medication, Berlusconi does this to me every time……..
UP DATED 1st April 2011
An update from Gossip (Italian online Newspaper) Elisabetta Canalis has come out fighting side by side with her Lawyer Michele Sterbini clarifying her involvement with Berlusconi and Ruby the Heartbreaker, stating that she never had dinner at the Villa in Arcore and may sue anyone saying otherwise . Any defamatory information or news published will not be accepted and will be dealt with accordingly. Proceedings against Berlusconi is still set to go ahead on the 6th April 2011, will George Clooney and/or Elizabetta Canalis be called to his defence, we must wait and see.
